Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

I don’t know why we have a MAC-Sun Belt Challenge, but it has given us Toledo and App State headed to double OT tied at 99 in a matchup of dangerous March teams.

 

Kentucky’s Sheppard (sp) can’t go left, and yet Gonzaga lets him go right every time.

 

Hard to do something for the first time at Kentucky, but these Cats are the first ever to lose three in a row at Rupp.

 

They lost at NKU today, now 0-26. I think its IUPUI or nothing.

The Titans actually have a couple good players but not enough, attendance has dropped to almost nothing in a place where it's already tough to draw fans. It's a total embarrassment for Mike Davis to be 0-25 in his 6th year. Detroit has a new president, first year on the job, he needs to clean house and dump the AD and Davis.

The women's team won one game two years ago. They got a new coach and are now above .500 in her third year. So it can be done.

 

Buzz Williams was standing on the midcourt logo trying to call a timeout. No T.

 

USC is now tied for last in the Pac 12. Washington State is one game out of first after tonight's win at Oregon.

 

Bring back Dickie V!

 

Mike Davis has had one of the strangest career arcs for a guy who has been a head coach for 24 years. To go from taking a blue blood program to the national title game in your second season to winless in a depleted Horizon League is nuts.

 

I think they should bring in current UM assistant Phil Martelli and his kid, who's the lead assistant at Bryant, and make him the head coach in waiting. It worked great for Wazzu with Dick and Tony Bennett. Martelli was a helluva coach for a long time at St. Joe's and could rebuild the program for 3-4 years before junior takes over.

He and Howard are probably going to get fired after next season anyways, get out while the getting is good and you still have some cred.

 

Oh noes!

If Iowa’s remaining road opponents roast Lisa Bluder for this mercilessly, women’s basketball will have truly arrived.

 

Saturday’s threads. They never should have phased out this logo.
